Tuesday, June 26, 2007 - replate your food
I just learned about an organization whose mission is to help feed hungry people by asking you and me to make a simple change in the way we dispose of our unfinished food: replate it!
"Replate" describes the act of putting uneaten food someplace other than IN the trash.
For trashcans with 'hoods,' it means putting the food ON TOP of the can instead of INSIDE it, like this:
Replate.org
Everyone has concerns about this practice: aesthetics, sanitation, malice, etc. The site, which is quite concise, addresses these concerns in a no-nonsense manner.
If this is an issue that resonates with you, here's a way for you to ease someone's hunger by doing nothing more than putting your leftover food ON TOP of a garbage can instead of INSIDE it.
If you've read this far, thank you for your open-minded compassion.

Friday, June 22, 2007 - Think Better
22 Ways to Boost Your Brain Power
# 3 - Ask Why
Our brains are wired to be curious. As we grow up and "mature" many of us stifle or deny our natural curiosity. Let yourself be curious! Wonder to yourself about why things are happening. Ask someone in the know. The best way to exercise our curiosity is by asking "Why?" Make it a new habit to ask "why?" at least 10 times a day. Your brain will be happier and you will be amazed at how many opportunities and solutions will show up in your life and work.
I find the above to be the most important one. I think a lot of us have stopped asking WHY?

Friday, June 15, 2007 - Counterfeit Colgate Toothpaste Found
 Counterfeit Colgate Toothpaste Found
Contact: Allison Klimerman 212-310-3770
Tom Paolella 212-310-2774
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, New York -- June 14, 2007 -- The Colgate–Palmolive Company today warned that counterfeit toothpaste falsely packaged as "Colgate" has been found in several dollar-type discount stores in four states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. There are indications that this product does not contain fluoride and may contain Diethylene Glycol. The Company stated that it does not use, nor has ever used, Diethylene Glycol as an ingredient in Colgate toothpaste anywhere in the world.
The counterfeit toothpaste can be easily recognized because it is labeled as "Manufactured in South Africa." Colgate does not import toothpaste into the United States from South Africa. In addition, the counterfeit packages examined so far have several misspellings including: "isclinically" "SOUTH AFRLCA" "South African Dental Assoxiation". Counterfeit toothpaste is not manufactured or distributed by Colgate and has no connection with the Company whatsoever. Colgate is working closely with the US FDA to help to identify those responsible for the counterfeit product.
Consumers who suspect they may have purchased counterfeit product, can call Colgate’s toll-free number at 1 800 468 6502.
Note:
Because of the natural sweetness of Diethylene Glycol, domesticated animals have been victims of DEG poisoning after consuming spilled or leaking antifreeze from vehicles.

Saturday, June 9, 2007 - Ron Paul in 2008
 The Ron Paul Phenomenon? - LINK - What do these numbers mean? How do you reconcile that support with the national poll numbers? In virtually every scientific national poll — generally regarded as the best measurement of public support for a political candidate — Paul registers, at most, between 1 and 2 percent. Do the debate numbers reflect something different from the national polls?
Could it mean that the national polls are meant to influence public opinion, not measure it?

Thursday, June 7, 2007 - Points to Ponder
Do infants enjoy infancy as much as adults enjoy adultery?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses of bald men?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK...so if the Jacksonville Jaguars are known as the "Jags" and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are known as the "Bucs",
What does that make the Tennessee Titans ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 a piece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If 4 out of 5 people SUFFER from diarrhea... does that mean that one enjoys it?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use? Toothpicks?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing is fool-proof to a talented fool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remember half the people you know are below average.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before they invented drawing boards, what did they go back to?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistency is the final refuge of the unimaginative
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The only truly consistent people are dead
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the difference between 'fat chance' and 'slim chance'?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're too lazy to start anything, you may get a reputation for patience

Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - Have you taken the gullibility factor quiz yet?
Find out whether you're really in control of your own decisions. Take the hugely popular Gullibility Factor quiz and find out whether you're a free-thinking person or a commercial mind-slave. (Free)
@ http://www.newstarget.com/gullibility.html
Not to boast, but here's how I scored:
Free Thinker
Welcome to the top 5%. You're a true free thinker and a person who is well informed about the reality in which you live. Although you may have been easily manipulated earlier in life, you eventually gained lucidity and developed a healthy sense of skepticism that you now automatically apply to your observations and experiences. You are endlessly curious about human behavior and the nature of the universe, and you have one or more lifestyle habits that most people would consider odd or unusual. You are not only of very high intelligence, you are also extremely creative in one or more areas (music, art, software development, inventing, etc.)
If you were in The Matrix, you would have taken the red pill, completed the combat training, and started fighting (and beating) agents from day one.
Your architects: You have cast off reality distortions taught to you by your parents, schooling, corporate advertising and government propaganda. You create your own beliefs based on what serves you best, without much regard for what the rest of the crowd is doing. You are guided by your own internal code of ethics (which may or may not agree with politically-correct ethical codes) rather than any pre-set system of ethics (such as from any one religion).
